Giuliani Admits Prep Session Before Trump Tower Meeting

https://politicalwire.com/2018/07/30/giuliani-discloses-prep-session-before-trump-tower-meeting/

"SNIP.........

Rudy Giuliani told CNN that two days before the Trump Tower meeting with a Russian lawyer to get “dirt” on Hillary Clinton there was a planning meeting to prepare that meeting. It included Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, Paul Manafort, Rick Gates and others.

That meeting would have been on June 7th, the same day Donald Trump teased an upcoming speech — which ultimately never happened — where he would reveal new information on the Clintons.

Josh Marshall: “If nothing else, it suggests that the Trump team took the planned encounter with the Russian government emissary much more seriously than they’ve suggested to date. And then there’s Rick Gates, Manafort’s deputy. As we know, Gates is now a cooperating witness. Big problem for the Trump Team, if he was at such a planning meeting.”

This is getting hard to follow. I think he retracted this later in the day.

t-rump knew about it and welcomed it. Putting Junior in charge, well, I guess he doesn't mind him going to jail.

Somehow Trump's comments June 7, 2016 about a Big Reveal on the Clintons has just dropped down the Memory Hole. Did Trump promise his Big Reveal because he knew that the Russians were coming to brief his campaign on some delicious Hillary dirt? Or is it irresponsible to speculate?
